MONDAY AUGUST 12 1895
It will take a bigger hole than
that noted of Jackson to engulf the
lies that have been sent out to the
credulous press of the country
ament the Bannock and Soshone
Indians and their indiscriminate
slaughter of big game in the moun-
tains. The latest and most re-
liable accounts do not pan out any
thing like pay dirt for the settlers
who are said to a set of hard citi-
zens. While it is true that the
dead Indian is by far the best of
his tribe it is also true that so long
as he keeps reasonably within the
bounds set for him he is entitled
to all possible protection. If he is
actually behaving himself in the
'mrthwest then he should have a
premium put on his good behavior
in order to encourage him to per-
severe. This will best be done by
bringing hie assailants to trial and
meeting out strict and Impartial
justice without regard to color.
October 22nd has been set apart
as Prohibition Day at the Texas
State Fair Dallas. It is not stated
whether there will be a shutting off
of the usual drinking privileges of
the thirsty on that day or not but
the dry people will undertake to
make the day interesting with
speeches and music. An elaborate
program is being prepared and
their banner will float upon the
breeze.
There are acres enough of good
strawberry ground in this south-
W'est to grow all the fillin’ for the
strawberry-shortcake of the nation-
Returns from Victoria show a yield
of 88 bushels to the acre and a
bushel of the best will bring right
at homo not less than five dollars.
As a something to fall back on
when cotton is only five cents a
pound an acre of strawberries
would be a good thing to have in
the family. There will be more
families farming this way next
decade than this.
Uncle Sam relieves Texas of the
burden of dollars and responsibil-
ity of taking care of that quaran-
tine station on the Rio where the
deluded colored people from that
Mexican colony are being cared for.
It now he would tax the costs on
the engineers of that scheme and
make them foot that bill there
would be some smack of justice in
itatleast. The wealth and dishon-
esty that sought to profit by the
miseries of these victims of their
own credulity should pay all the
expenses of the return of those
colored people to the place from
which they started.
GOD’S ACRE
There was a simple homeliness
of faith in the old verbiage that
designated the cemetery the burial
place of all that is mortal of our
loved ones “God’s acre.” It would
take a very vivid stretch of imag-
ination to see much of this in the
cemeteries of this city since they
have been turned out to grass and
left to the vandalism of all those
roving bands who find on these
grassy mounds only a resting place
for their laziness and on these
white marbles the ground for dese-
crating pencil or knife. It is cer-
tainly not to the credit of the city
that the cemeteries in which repose
the ashes of our dead and around
whose last resting place so much
of sad and sacred memory lingers
should be left uncared for to the
extent that they now are. The
attention of the City Council has
been on more than one occasion
called to this neglect by petition
and otherwise and It is evry much
to be regretted that matters have
so long remained as they are. Com-
plaint is made in various quarters
of the neglect and disorder into
which things have been suffered to
fall and this condition of affairs is
charged to the negligence of the
city authorities. It may not be
their fault but if notit is certainly
their misfortune. The plea that
there is no money to look out for
the resting place of the dead not
enough being comeatable for the
needs of the living may be a
valid one but it does not relieve
the situation. The cemetery is
too dear to the hearts of the
average human being to be per-
mitted to He unkempt and forsak-
en without challenging comment
and rebuke. From whatever cause
the present condition arises it
would be wise for the City Council
to consider the situation carefully
and see if some measure of relief
cannot be afforded. That some
action of theirs is needed is not
more certain than that they would
receive the blessing of thousands
whose dead repose in the cemetery
by having the “God’s Acre” of the
city put into proper condition and
so kept as to be a credit and satis-
faction to those who. visit it to drop
the silent tear or strew flowers
over the sod that covers the graves
of loved ones.
There are now in jails in this
country four kid murderers not one
of whom have reached their teens-
When the children come into their
inheritance of bloodthirstiness so
early there is not much hope for
their future. The only way is to
get at the bottom of the business
and prevent the dangerous classes
from marrying and begetting
children in their own likeness. It
must come to that in the end or
the failure of the present civiliza-
tion will be as marked as that of
Rome.
The cholera ravages the east;
yellow fever decimates the eoasts
of the West Indies islands; small
pox gets in its work along the Rio
Grande. All these things teach the
need of greater care in all that per-
tains to the cleanliness and health
of this city. Be vigilant for two
more months and the danger for
this season will have past and there
will be a clear field until another
season of heat and festering cor-
ruption. The natural conditions
here are all right it is only the un-
natural conditions that are to be
feared.
The Interior department has es-
tablished to its own satisfaction
that the trouble in the Jackson’s
Hole country is due entirely to the
white settlers whether they will
so establish it to the satisfaction
of the State of Wyoming is not so
certain. If the Indians have all
been good Indians and there has
been no stepping beyond bounds on
their part it is about the first time
and should bo marked with a new
white stone.
China seems to be taking her re
venge for the licking that Japan
gave her out of the Foreign Mis-
sionaries. There may be two ques-
tions as to the wisdom or propriety
of allowing those missionaries to
monkey with the religious preju-
dices and superstitions of a semi-
barberous people but there will be
no two opinions as to the propriety
of compelling the Chinese author-
ities to stand by their treaty agree-
ments and protect the lives of the
foreigners she has allowed to enter
her territory. There should be in-
demnity enough exacted for those
murders to run the missionary
enterprises of that country for a
quarter of a century. This would
be a new application of the idea
that “the blood of the martyrs is
the seed of the church.”
Any fool can point out the pri-
vate and public ills of existence It
is for the wise man to point out
the methods of cure. It is not
necessary to remark that the wise
men are rather scarce.
As Mrs. Talmage leaves her hus-
band the neat little sum of $166000
it is not likely that the sensation-
al divine will suffer for the bread
that perisheth while he remains In
this mundane.
It was another victory for the
man with a pull.
CURE FOR HEADACHE.
As a remedy for all forms of Headache
Electric Bitters has proved to be the very
best. It effects a permanent cure and the
most dreaded habitual sick headaches
yield to its influence. We urge all who
are afflicted to procure a bottle and give
this remedy a fair trial. In cases of
habitual constipation Electric Bitters
cures by giving the needed tone to the
bowels and few cases long resist the use
of this medicine. Try It once. Large
bottles only fifty cents at F. Kalteyer &
Son's drugstore.
